Sarah Elert is a San Francisco-based violinist who enjoys collaborative music-making of all kinds. They currently hold positions as principal second violinist of the Vallejo Symphony and section violin in the Modesto and Berkeley Symphonies, and frequently perform with other groups throughout the Bay Area. An avid chamber musician, Sarah spent several summers in Breckenridge, Colorado, as part of the National Repertory Orchestra’s Alumni String Quartet, where they had the opportunity to both curate formal recitals and perform educational concerts at local preschools and libraries.

When not performing, Sarah enjoys knitting increasingly long scarves, oil painting, practicing latte art, monologuing about film scores, and reading chamber music with friends.
